Am I late to restart CA preparation

I am almost 22 (will be 22yrs old after 2 months)

I have dropped CA prep after giving my first CA INTERMEDIATE attempt in November23 due to family issues,(although I cleared CA FOUNDATION in first attempt dec22 after 12th boards) , now I am restarting ca preparation for January2027 both groups,

so am I seriously very late or anyone else here has similar story too?

I am above average or very good in studies and pretty confident that I will ace through it within a year, but this age thing keeps on disturbing me, as my friends are already pretty settled. This gives me anxiety a lot of times.

( I am also planning to give INDIAN CMA INTERMEDIATE exams only after clearing my CA INTERMEDIATE ,not registered in CMA till now)
